2020 Interim Guidance for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients: Put on PPE immediately & limit the personnel around you after you verify that the scene is safe.

It is critical to understand that dialing 9-1-1 is one of the most important steps you can take to save another’s life.

PPE includes: Gloves, Goggles (eye protection) Gown, Lab Coat or Apron, Shoe Covers, Face Shields / Masks, and Cap.
Your safety is first, so leave the scene if you are at risk.
While helping the victim, protect yourself from transmission of possible diseases.
